OAKLAND — A man accused in the September shooting of two 14-year-old boys was arrested Sunday after police found him in a home for which they had a drug-related search warrant.

The man arrested was Eugene Gobar, 18, of Oakland. Police said that on Sept. 19, Gobar was lying in wait for the two teens as they walked along the 2600 block of Myrtle Street shortly after noon.

Gobar came out of a nearby yard and shot at both boys, hitting one of them several times, Officer John Koster said. The second boy was grazed on the lip, Koster added.

The shooter has been connected to the Ghost Town Gang, and the shooting may have been tied to a turf dispute, Koster said.

The wounded teens were not related, and the most seriously wounded boy had moved out of Oakland and into Contra Costa County before the shooting, Koster said. That boy remained hospitalized Sunday as a police team led by Officer Jeff Camilosa discovered Gobar in a home targeted by a drug-related search warrant.

When police entered the duplex in the 600 block of 35th Street, they found Gobar with a 43-year-old woman and two other men, ages 18 and 19. In the house were 46 rocks of cocaine, with a street value of more than $500, and four handguns, police said.

None of the guns recovered appeared to be used in the September shooting, police said.

Gobar was held on a no-bail warrant on two counts of attempted murder, police said.
